I torched some lace with rainbow fire... kidding! They're just OPI Color Paints. Phew, can you imagine how hot that would get?

There's a video tutorial right here for you to enjoy so click to see more!

The video shows a quick overview of the way I file my nails and how I achieve my round shape while keeping all my nails at the same length. It also shows the technique I use to polish my nails, how I get nice clean edges around my cuticles and how my peel off base coat works. Click to see more!

I've done a few designs now with my homemade sheer tints polishes and it's about time I tell you how to make your own! Click to see more!

You will need:
- Clear polish, I used regular top coat that I poured into a mini bottle because I know I will only need a little bit of my home made sheer tints
- A regular polish, any kind of polish will do! Pick a cool color
- Stainless steel mixing balls (get these on eBay), adding them is optional but is recommended

Drop a few drops of your chosen color into your clear polish. I added mixing balls because it helps mix up the polishes. Shake well, and there's your home made sheer tint!

Just think about it. You can make neon sheer tints, or even glow in the dark or holo ones. Awesome!!!

It's looking at you.... It won't stop staring until it takes your soul! This particular dragon is one of the 'glowmeleon' variety, a species that only appears in the Serum No. 5 regions. Its main defenses are scales that shift color as the light hits them differently, and it is said to glow a spooky green at night. Click to see more!
